N. B. — In the list of consonants in the native character, the vowel mark of a 

 short, lias been appended to each of the consonants to whhh it can be append- 

 ed. This has been done to distinguish them from the 9 consonants which do 

 not carry it, viz : k'h,gn, j, n, t, n, b, r, 1. Hence the English equivalents are 

 ka, k'ha, ga, g'ha, gn, &c.
